144: Chapter 144 The orcs are indeed a race with blood and guts.

Xu Qin still remembered the Tie Ge.

This guy looked quite fierce, but was a bit simple-minded.

Back when he was negotiating with Lord Ta Lun, he was looking around everywhere.

Moreover, he would ask for help at the drop of a hat.

He was the type who said whatever was on his mind.

Unexpectedly, this guy hadn't died and had even run nearly a thousand kilometers.

Xu Qin continued to watch the footage transmitted back by the vulture.

He saw that the Tie Ge's territory was now very small, surrounded by a circle of low wooden fences.

Inside were a few crude Orc tents.

At this moment, outside the fence.

More than thirty Void Rift Demons were surrounding the territory, constantly attacking the fence.

The Tie Ge stood at the entrance of the territory, holding a battle axe, fighting the monsters.

Behind him, about four hundred Orc warriors were fighting desperately.

"Ten minutes at most," Xu Qin commented.

Just as he was about to turn off the screen, the command panel popped up a prompt.

[Regional Communication: Tie Ge]

[My Lord!!! I see your Floating City!!!]

[Please save my life! Anything will do!]

Xu Qin did not intend to reply to the message.

The reason was simple: his talent could not be exposed.

The Tie Ge was a living lord; although simple-minded, it did not mean he lacked a brain.

If he happened to see the doubling effect of the combat gift, it would be troublesome if word spread.

And why save an Tie Ge?

For his four hundred cannon fodder?

What a joke.

There were millions of bones in the treasure house, more than he could ever use.

Xu Qin closed the communication bar casually.

Just as he was about to close the real-time screen transmitted by the vulture, his fingers suddenly stopped.

In the picture, twelve Orc cavalry suddenly rushed out of the Tie Ge's territory.

Hm? Rhinoceroses?

Xu Qin's eyes widened instantly.

That's right, these twelve Orc cavalry were actually riding gray rhinoceroses.

The shoulder height of each rhinoceros exceeded two meters, and there were two curved sharp horns on their heads.

The Orc on the back of the leading rhinoceros cavalry was holding a war drum, beating it while howling.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With every drum sound, a layer of pale golden light flashed over the surrounding Orc soldiers.

[War Drum Morale: All unit attack power +12% within range, morale recovers one level!]

Twelve rhinoceroses rushed directly into the monster group.

Boom!

The first rhinoceros hit a Void Rift Demon.

-380!

The Void Rift Demon's entire body flew backward, rolling three times on the ground before stopping.

The second one followed closely behind.

Bang!

-410!

The rhinoceros cavalry's battle axe came down from above, striking the head of the Void Rift Demon that had been knocked away.

-220!

Xu Qin watched this scene and couldn't help but feel curious.

"This unit..."

He opened the command panel and brought up the vulture's remote observation function.

Five seconds later, the data was transmitted back.

[Iron-Horned War Rhino Cavalry (Elite)]

[Attack Power: 68 (Physical - Charge/Slash)]

[Defense: 42]

[HP: 520/520]

[Characteristics:]

[Rhinoceros Charge (Active): Charge at full speed at enemy units, dealing 200% damage, knocking the target into the air. Cooldown 8 seconds.]

[Iron Thick Armor (Passive): Physical damage reduction 15%.]

Xu Qin's eyes lit up after reading it.

This unit was very strong.

Placed in his undead army, although this panel wasn't even third-rate.

But as a living unit, these stats were quite capable.

More importantly...

Charge. Knock up.

His undead units lacked this kind of high-mobility charging unit.

Bone Beasts could also rampage, but they were too slow.

He couldn't rely on Bone Dragons for everything, could he?

That was his trump card for now, and it couldn't be used casually.

Unknowingly, Xu Qin's attention was focused on the battlefield.

He saw twelve rhinoceros cavalry rushing through the monster group, and combined with the morale bonus from that drummer, they forcibly smashed a path through the Void Rift Demons in front.

Xu Qin touched his chin.

"If that's the case... it's not impossible."

He reopened the communication interface.

[Xu Qin: I see you.]

[Tie Ge: My Lord! Please take action!]

[Xu Qin: I can take action, but first, you deal with these Void Rift Demons.]

[Tie Ge: ???]

[Xu Qin: Kill all these Void Rift Demons. I'll consider whether to help you.]

After sending the message, Xu Qin controlled the Floating City to decelerate and hover.

He floated three hundred meters above the Tie Ge's territory, looking down.

...

The Tie Ge received the message and was completely stunned.

Kill them all?

More than twenty Void Rift Demons?

But he only had this small amount of assets under his command!

Good grief, the whole reason he was begging was to hope he could help repel the enemy, wasn't it?

Since he wouldn't take action whether he begged or not, what was the point of begging?

But the Tie Ge looked up at the Floating City with complicated emotions.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

He seemed to understand Xu Qin's intention.

The other party wasn't watching a show.

The other party was checking to see if he had any value!

Understood!

The Tie Ge instantly became full of fighting spirit.

He picked up his battle axe and roared:

"All troops!"

"Charge for me!"

"Rhino riders! Full team Charge!"

"Drummer, beat the drum to pieces for me!"

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The sound of war drums suddenly intensified.

Twelve Iron-Horned War Rhinos lined up in a triangle formation and crushed toward the front of the monster group.

Boom boom boom!

-380! -402! -395! -411!

...

The rhinoceros group rushed into the dense area of monsters, and wherever they went, the Void Rift Demons were knocked away.

The Tie Ge himself also rushed up.

His level was much higher than the ordinary soldiers.

He swung his battle axe, cutting off the arm of a Void Rift Demon with one strike.

-488!

Then he backhanded a slash.

-501!

The Void Rift Demon fell to the ground.

But the Tie Ge's soldiers were also dying.

The Orc Archers in the back row were pounced on by two Void Rift Demons that had circled behind them.

Screams followed.

[Orc Archer killed x2]

[Orc Heavy Infantry killed x1]

[Morale fluctuation: High -> Normal]

The Tie Ge gritted his teeth and roared again.

"Kill!"

Boom! Boom!

[Morale recovery: Normal -> High]

The battle turned into a close-quarters melee, quite brutal.

Ten minutes later.

The last Void Rift Demon was surrounded by three rhinoceros cavalry and trampled to death.

The battlefield finally quieted down.

The Tie Ge panted heavily, throwing away the battle axe in his hand.

He opened the command panel.

Adding in the previous consumption...

There were only thirty-six soldiers left under his command.

Now, he was truly exhausted.

The Tie Ge looked up at the sky.

The Floating City began to descend slowly.

...

Xu Qin stood on the edge of the Combat Readiness Platform.

Behind him, the Python Emperor's huge body slid out of the Combat Readiness Platform, circling around him.

The Python Emperor's skull hung beside Xu Qin's shoulder, less than two meters away from him.

The moment the Tie Ge saw the Python Emperor, he froze instantly.

His legs trembled uncontrollably.

This snake...

Its head alone was bigger than his entire body.

A sense of oppression shrouded his entire body.

He was so scared he almost knelt down.

"Not bad."

"The Orc race is indeed a race with mettle."

The Tie Ge tried his best to steady his legs and bowed in reply: "Thank you for your praise, my Lord."

Xu Qin didn't answer, but waved his hand.

Rumble, three Bone Transport Carts drove down from the Combat Readiness Platform.

The first was meat.

The second, wood.

The third, stone.

The three carts stopped in front of the Tie Ge.

"These are for you."

Xu Qin said lightly, "I hope you can survive."

After speaking, he turned to leave.
